balmy december day...

To my astonishment this morning, this is what I saw when I took the dog out for a piss. For a split second I found it odd, but then I remembered where I was...New England in December.

The dog stopped when her face hit the warm air and looked up at me in bewilderment. I think it is a sure sign that something is off when an animal can sense something is amiss...and this is surely the case. The weather has been terrible so far and with the near miss of a potentially mega-storm, it shows no signs of getting better.
